Pico do Papagaio - Abraão, Angra dos Reis - RJ, Brazil
View on Google MapsI did an incredible night hike to the top of Ilha Grande with Quintino, and I couldn’t have asked for a better guide. He is extremely passionate about nature and truly enjoys sharing his knowledge. Throughout the hike, he explained so many interesting things about the environment, wildlife, and the island itself. Quintino adapts perfectly to your walking pace, is very attentive and cautious, and makes you feel safe at all times. He is flexible, patient, and really tailors the experience to the group or individual. This was a unique and unforgettable experience, and I highly recommend Quintino to anyone looking for a meaningful and well-guided hike on Ilha Grande !
We had an amazing experience hiking Pico do Papagaio at night for the sunrise with Quintino as our guide. From start to finish, he was professional, calm, and extremely knowledgeable about the trail. He set a perfect pace, made sure everyone felt safe, and shared great insights along the way. Reaching the top at sunrise was unreal — 100% worth it. You can really tell Quintino cares about the experience and the safety of the group. If you’re thinking about doing Pico do Papagaio, especially a night hike for sunrise, I highly recommend Quintino Guia. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide.

A few days ago, my longtime close friend and I had the chance to do this incredible hike with our wonderful guide, Quintino. We met him at 1:30 AM in the town center, where night-goers were still partying and drinking—adding a lively flair to what could have been a groggy, pre-adrenaline start. Making our way from that buzzing town square into the quiet, dark jungle was such a fascinating and jarring transition—in the coolest way possible. I originally signed up for the hike mainly for the amazing sunrise view, but walking through the jungle at night turned out to be a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. It could’ve been scary, but Quintino made it all feel magical. With his stories, songs, and jokes, the whole journey was a joy. Any fear of the night melted away. He brought us coffee and snacks for the top of the mountain, and even packed a blanket for a full-on photo shoot at the summit! His knowledge of the plants and animals around us was impressive, but what really stood out was his sensitivity to our energy and fitness levels. As a novice hiker, I never once had to ask for a breakhe just knew when to pause, let us breathe, and then gently guide us forward. And somehow, we still made it to the top in perfect time for the sunrise. I would 10/10 recommend this adventure—and if you can, definitely request Quintino as your guide!
Did the sunrise hike with George & Paris. The hike was amazing. Would recommend going with small groups. Arriving to the top the view was breathtaking!
We thank George for joining us on this path in ilha grande, at first we hesitated to do it as we were uncertain about doing it at night to the peak, with everything that could reach, but, with George we felt very safe and enjoyed the path, he has a lot of experience in the area, and while you are walking he is teaching you things of the nature of that place, I definitely recommend doing it at night, it is worth 100%. You won't regret doing it! The best of the island
Great experience. Hans, the guide, a genius. I recommend doing it at night to see the sunrise (unique) and if or if with guide. The trail has more difficult sectors and the guides anticipate it. It is also very well organized. I'd come back a thousand times.
The Big Iland is fantastic, every visit a new discovery. You must visit Lopes Mendes such a beautiful beach, also you can rest in the black beach that is near to Abraão village. Good food, good relaxing time
Une randonnée assez difficile mais qui vaut largement le coup. Notre guide George a été génial. Je recommande aux sportifs avertis.
The best sunrise I've ever seen! Quintino guided us and helped us at all times, he is a great guide! He took amazing pictures of us and gave us the best advice. We even found wildlife on the trail. I highly recommend! Best sunrise I have ever seen! Quintino guided and helped us through the whole hike and he is a great guide. He took incredible pictures of us and gave us the best advice.

After knowing I wanted to visit ilha grande for hiking I knew Pico do Papaggio was the one to aim for. Initially thinking I would do it during the day, but once looking on Trip Advisor saw the option of doing a sunrise hike. Came across Martin's name (and great reviews) and messaged on Whataspp and added on Instgram. Was communicating with Martin prior to arrival for the details - very communicative and perfect English. The hike started at 0230hrs, and we reached the top before sunrise. Fairly long slog up but absolutely worth every step. We didn't get bitten to death either which I was expecting. The sunrise was unforgettable. Orange, red, white - amazing shades. Hear the sound of wildlife and relax at the top for a bit. View is just stunning. Martin is great - tells you about different animals and insects that live in along the trail and you might be lucky enough to see some things (we did). Got back to the town for around 0930hrs. Trek was not rushed and caters for the speed of the individuals. Would recommend Martin for sure if you are wanting to do this, and DEFINITELY do the sunrise hike.
